Man City announce Tevez will face "disciplinary proceedings"

Manchester City have announced Carlos Tevez will face disciplinary proceedings after an investigation into his behaviour in Munich.

City boss Roberto Mancini claimed Tevez refused to come on as substitute during the 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich.

"The club has been conducting an investigation into the events of 27 September at the Allianz Arena," said a club statement.

"The club has now reached a stage in its investigation where it has concluded that there is a case for Carlos Tevez to answer of alleged breaches of contract.

"Accordingly, the club has informed him that he will face disciplinary proceedings and the hearing will be convened shortly."

Tevez has been told he is expected at City's Carrington training ground in the morning.

"Carlos will be required to report to Roberto Mancini for training on Thursday," continued the statement.

It raises the prospect of a rather uncomfortable meeting between the Italian and the man who was his captain last season.
